1222 Shope Rd, Otto, NC 28763

Welcome to 1222 Shope Road, a picturesque and peaceful retreat tucked away in the mountains of Otto, North Carolina. Looking for a weekend escape just far enough to feel like a getaway-but close enough to leave work at 5 and still make it before dark? Welcome to 1222 Shope Road in Otto, North Carolina, just 1 hour and 45 minutes from Atlanta, less than 90 minutes to Asheville, NC and 20 minutes to either Franklin, NC or Clayton, GA and sought-after Rabun County, GA. It's just over the NC line, nestled in the quiet foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This nearly 8-acre slice of Appalachian charm is the perfect retreat for anyone craving peace and a place to relax, build, create, and unwind. Whether you're a hobbyist, handyman, woodworker, or just someone who's been dreaming of a rustic property with room to breathe-this might be your spot. The log cabin (1BR + 2 sleeping lofts) has recently had some great updates-over $30k recently invested, including a new wraparound porch, new flooring, and an updated kitchen. Bring your vision and your tool belt and make it your own perfect getaway spot. Outside, the spring-fed stocked pond, babbling Coweeta Creek, and visiting deer give it all the peaceful, natural energy you could want. The massive barn (once the largest in Macon County) has a fully floored upper level and tons of possibilities: a dream workshop, loft studio, motorcycle rebuild space, woodshop, or even a potential event venue. The possibilities are endless. You'll also find a basic workshop, root cellar, corn crib, and a few other outbuildings that are just waiting for their next life. Want to build a bigger home with a view? You've got plenty of acreage and tons of options. Want to set up a vineyard, gardens, or just a hammock and a fire pit? There's a big field along the creek that would be perfect for corn or other crops. If you're looking for character and potential, come take a look at 1222 Shope Road.
